His hobbies are reading, radio building, hunting, and fishing. He likes best to “dissect” all kinds of machines—just for the fun of rebuilding them. “Archie” has an ambition to become an elec trical engineer. Good luck to him! LEONARD JACKSON “Len Oblivious to unwanted things is he. Chemistry Club (1), Swimming Team 2 (3) 4 , Varsity Baseball (4). “Len” is best known to us as an excellent swimmer. His one failing is that he has never been known to do a hit of homework—especially in English. He should he glad that the time has come when he won't receive his daily zeros on that score. We know that “Len” will acquire ambition some day, and we hope for his success in the future. LOIS IRENE JOHNSON “Johnnie” Oh. blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make to-morrow cheerful as to-day. Scrapbook Club (1), Junior Red Cross (2), Comet, Business Boartl (4l, Chorus 14 . Lois is the grandest kid; she'll do exactly as she’s bid! She tackles anything she’s asked to do with courage, conviction, and zest. She has attended four high schools and hasn't missed a day yet. Remarkable, but true! Lois has been a model secretary for the English department this year—getting in practice for her next year’s position as a stenographer. Keep up the good work. Lois.

Happy Days (2) 3 , Swimming Team (2), Basketball (3) (4), Dramatic Club I4i, Comet Staff (4). Class Gift Committee 4». Muriel s pleasant face and merry disposition have made her a very popular young lady at East Haven. When she must, she can be very serious, but we all like her best when she is not. She is primarily interested in sports, and can always be counted upon to be Miss Me Lay’s “right-hand woman” when the occasion arises. She should make an “Ace-High” physical education teacher..

Class Swimming Team 2 , Varsity Swimming Team (3), Chess and Checker Club (4), Student Council, President (4), Class President f4). “Bob,” our class president, is without a doubt the most popular fellow in school.

Ask her to imitate Patsy Kelly for you, or any other actress, for that matter. Very good, “Georgie,” but you’ll have to control yourself if you intend to teach youngsters, or you’ll be teaching them to cut capers. Best of luck to a clever girl! JOHN HOGAN “Shanty” “Why should I l c ruled by custom? Rules were only made for those too weak to break them.” Swimming Team (1) (2) (3) (4). Although “Shanty” is small, he is full of pep. Since he hails from the shore, it is only natural that he enjoys sailing and swimming (in both of which sports he excels), with billiards and hockey thrown in for good measure. He wants to become an officer on an ocean liner—and he'll be right at home there! MARIE E. HOGAN To those who know thee not, no words can paint; And those who know thee, know all words are faint.

Marie is sweet, irresistible, and irrepressible. Her pleasant smile and her congenial ways have helped to make her very popular. She has the happy faculty of giggling at the weakest jokes, and she has a subtle sense of humor herself. Marie possesses just the right amount of friendliness, courtesy, and frankness. In ability she ranks high. We know she’s going to make a fine teacher. FRED LEE HOLMES, JR. “Holmsie” “Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air, and to eat and sleep with the earth.” Nature Club (1). Fish and Game Club (4). Although “Holmsie” aspires to be a draftsman, his hobbies show signs of his appearing in some of our future sportsmen’s shows. He gets most of his fun out of hunting, tramping, fishing, and camping. Lee has distinguished himself as being absent more than anyone else in his homeroom—pursuing his hobbies? You deserve the best, Lee! GEORGE PETER HOWARD “Howie” “Docs well, acts nobly,—no one could do more. Shorthand Club (1), Homeroom Basketball (1). Glee Club (2), Junior Social Club (3), Varsity Basketball (4), Bowling Club (4), Chorus (4). “Howie” is a handsome and clever scholar who is continually winning friends as a result of his pleasing personality.

We wish him the best of luck! [22]

Cries of “There’s Elmer”—“Oh Elmer”—heard in our halls show us just how popular Elmer is—with the girls! Elmer’s hobbies, however, show that the field and stream interest him more than the fair sex—because he likes nothing better than camping and swimming. Elmer hopes to become a great singer and musician, and with the experience he has had here, he should succeed. EDWARD JOHN JAMES KARMAZYN “Streaky” He who strives will never fail.” Astronomy Club (1), Dancing Club (41. “Streaky” is a graduate of the Laurel Grammar School. He is a quiet, reserved boy, whose ambition is to work himself into a good job, presumably in a restaurant—since he is holding down a part-time job in one now. He has many hobbies, among them basketball, swimming, baseball, football, woodworking, and airplane modeling. All in all, he's a likable chap, and one who should get along. BERTHA ALICE KAWRA “Bunny” A witty girl, with lots of chccr— A laugh or smile when she is near.” Tennis tl). Homemaking Club (1) (2l, Baseball (2l, Field Hockey (2), Athletic (4). To be with “Bunny” is to forget your troubles—for there is never a dull moment when she is near. Her lively wit and her cheerful smile have helped to enliven many a dreary hour. Her sunny disposition should make her very popular with those who patronize her beauty salon. EDWARD KENNEY “Eddie” “Ed” Not that I dislike studying, hut I like fun hcttcr.” “Eddie” has a great sense of humor and enjoys cracking jokes of his own which aren’t haltH 5 yfle fe k'nown by his original swagger, impish grin, and tell-tale finger ta.allIs uort s. but has no specific line of activities, other than, as he says. trouMe? rl£3 undecided as to what he wants to do —but we bet it will be something gt od!

East Haven Players (4l, ('lass Poet (4 . “Marge” tells us that her ambition is to travel widely. The number of schools she has attended (sixteen in all 1 would seem to show that she has traveled plenty already. At East Haven she has had a hand in just about every activity high school offers. She “super excels” in dramatics, but contrary to the usual run of actresses, she has a scholastic record which points toward success in anything she may attempt. A business career? (Jo to it. Marge.
